->''Walkin' around when you're dead's kinda strange, aside from the fact that you're not supposed to be walkin' around at all, I mean.''

Being Dead Ain't Easy is a ''Anime/YuGiOh'' fanfic written by D. Draggy.

When Joey Wheeler dies saving Seto Kaiba's life, he decides that his day officially sucks. Making things worse is the fact that upon trying to enter the afterlife, he trips over his shoelace and finds himself unable to move on. As if things couldn't get worse than ''that'', it appears no one but Kaiba can see or hear him.

As Joey tries to make sense of his un-life (and haunt Seto Kaiba), it soon grows apparent that he's weakening--and he has no idea how much time he has left.

The fic can be found [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1292024/1/Being-Dead-Ain-t-Easy here]].
